Nave

Re the Wednesday Cal Thomas column, "Nave to bind U.S. to Geneva Conventions":. The definition of the word "nave" is quite correct but is used only to put others down and to justify his own thinking. Reference to a war that we should never have gone into and justifying Americans being killed and maimed does not make him a patriot. We are battling a people that are killing each other and in their spare time going after our armed forces. Supporting American forces is a lot more than saying, "Go get them."

I get a good laugh when I hear or read the argument that fighting terrorism in Iraq is better than fighting terrorism here at home. How nave are these people? Do they not realize that terrorism is a world affair? Do they not realize that terrorists plot their next move on our shores in a slow and deliberate process? How can all these people think that our war in Iraq will stop these terrorists from plotting their next move on our shores? Iraq under Saddam Hussein was mostly a secular country that had been decimated by U.N. sanctions.

I abhor bullying and vulgarity at anytime, anyplace. However, I found the article in the Saturday Local section on bullying at the early polls to be so biased as to believe it was written by the Republican Party itself. I'm sure this is being carried on by both sides, as I have observed it elsewhere. This election has been the most divisive and nastiest of my entire life, and it applies to all sides. It has served to pull America down in world opinion, as I saw in Europe this past summer.

Re the April 28 editorial regarding term limits and HJR 659 (Being recently unemployed, I find I have the time to mull over the paper): My objection to the editorial is with the supposition that legislators would be just "finding their footing" after eight years and that newly elected legislators are too nave to deal with "lobbyists and longtime bureaucrats." There was an obvious reason we voted for term limits in 1992 by a 3-1 margin. There were too many "rascals." I welcome the idea of a ballot to reaffirm term limits.

If a hurricane bears down on Florida, the state might turn major highways into one-way streets to get people out of danger, state emergency officials said on Monday. But local officials disagreed on whether that would make it easier to evacuate South Florida or only cause more gridlock. "It will be tough," said engineer Donald C. Lewis, who studied the time it takes to evacuate coastal areas. "But it sure beats the alternative of having people sit in their cars when a Category 4 hurricane comes through.

In a Sept. 27 letter to the editor, "Threat too great to worry about rights," the writer rationalizes that we should allow the government to tap any and all telephones or electronic communications in response to terrorism. He perceives terrorists laughing at our "nave insistence that our freedoms are inviolable" I rush to inform the writer that what he so calls "nave" is precisely what thousands of Americans have suffered and died for on the field of battle -- liberty and justice -- which happen to be the cornerstones of our democratic system.

Through the years, I have read articles by Jim Mullins in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, and they have always shown an anti-Israel bias. I would ask the gentleman what the situation would be today if in 1948 when Israel was given statehood by the United Nations the Arab nations had agreed to live in peace with their Israeli neighbor? Unfortunately, the Arab leaders could not and would not allow a democracy in their midst, thereby condemning thousands of their own people to live in camps under terrible conditions.

Before her first sibling was born, Beverly Naves Moore lived six years as an only child, spending chunks of those days playing grown-up, inventing games, inventing friends, writing poetry and reading. Those days growing up in Chicago left Mrs. Moore with magical memories and flights of fancy that she wanted to pass on to every child. That's why she wanted every child not just to read, but to appreciate books and the worlds that written words unlocked. Mrs. Moore died Sept. 8 at Broward General Medical Center after a long battle with cancer.
